HARNESS-TRIMMING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,510, dated July 22,1884.

' Application filed May 5, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY QMAXWELL, a citizenof the United States of America, residing at Rome, in the county ofOneida, and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Harness-Trimming, entitled a Harness D, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in harness-hardware; and itconsists of a harnessbreeching or strap-loop in shape of the letter D,provided with arms extending beyond each side of the body of the loop,to increase its bearing and holding surface, and having the i upper partof the loop set outward from the harness, to prevent it from bindingagainst and making a depression in the breast-strap or breeching. Theloop is formed with a central projection provided with a hole to receivea tack for holding the work for the stitcher, and to receive a rivet inrepairing the harness, or in making strong, substantial work, all ashereinafter fully set forth. 1

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the loopdetached. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the loop attached to the breeching.Fig. 3 is a side view of the loop detached. Fig. 4 is a plan view of thesame detached. Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 00 m of Fig. 2.

A designates the body of the loop having formed on its brace-bar theextended arms a a, to give increased bearings on the harness and for thestitches, by which it is held more seourely in place. The body of theloop is bent outward and upward, as shown at I) b, to place the upperportion 0 of the loop outward from the harness, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4of the drawings, to prevent that portion of the loop or itsconnecting-strap from making a depression in the breast -strap or thebreeching to which the loop may be attached. The middle portion of thebasebar has formed on it the projection d, provided with a hole toreceive a tack for holding the work for the stitcher, through which holea rivet may be inserted in repairing or in making strong substantialharness.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The harness breech or strap loop having the extended arms a a, theoutward set portion 0, and the perforated projection d, substantially asand for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY C; MAXWELL.
